General Rosser's compaien against Sheridan
continues to excite the admiration and interest
Of a few people in Virginia. In some comments
on Rossers letter to Major Conrad. the editor Of
the Peninsula Enterprise says
s.This is the same General Sheridan whose bar
barous torch spread such wild and wanton waste
and desolation through the valley during the
war laying ashes the beautiful and happy
homes of innocent women, young and helpless
children and aged men, and who, over those ru-
ins, boasted that crow could not ny without
carving his ratons. That such a

pie of Virginia, last summer, we do not believe

claimed him for his guest AT least, if Virgin
ians at that time were so forgetful of their de-
cency and self-respect as to show him any atten-
ton. it is TO be hoped that they Will not be guilty
again of such an objectionable sin. The brave
soldiers of the Union, like Meade, Hancock and
Grant have our respect, and cannot Do received
too Hospitality. In the presence OF such men II
is right that unpleasant memories should be
cherished, and we honor ourselves In honoring
them: but Sheridan is no less brute now than
he was during the war. and entitled 10 no con-

VETO MESSAGES.
The Number Of Veto Messages Issued
10y Each President-Some Pecu-
liar and interesting Facts.

The Government Printing Office, AZ
Washington, has just issued volume con
tanning all the veto messages of each
President OF the United States, with the
action OF Congress on each, from Washing
ton TO Cleveland. IL contains much that
is comparatively new and interesting. IL
recalls forgotten practice Of sending in
veto messages at a subsequent session OF
Congress when an objectionable bill
reached the President so near adjournment
that he did not have time TO veto IL 10 the
session that passed IL. In other words
fourteen of the messages did not kill bills.
The bills were killed by tho signing of
them and the adjournment of Congress,
but they were sent in to the next ensuing
session of ongress 10 explain why the so
called pocket veto had been administered.
Washington was the author of two
vctOes, Madison of six, and Monroe of one;
Jackson sent In thirteen yetoes, of which
five were explanations of pocket vetoes at
previous sessions Of ongress, and one
was an explanation Co the ongress that
passed the bill IN its last expiring hours OF
the reasons why he would neither sign the
bill nor veto IL. This last message was
particularly dated "March ., 1887, 1I:45
y. M" fact which indicates that at that
time the last day OF Congress WAS supposed
TO end at midnight of the Sd instead OF at
noon ON the 9Th, a. is the present practice.
Tyler is put down in the index as the
author OF eleven vetoes, but two OF them
were in n single message explaining why
he applied the pocket veto az the previous
session. Tyler had one bill passed over
his veto. This was in 1Si5, and IL was the
first time the thing was done.
Polk vetoed three bills. Pierce sent In
ten veto messages OF nine bills. He very
briefly vetoed river and harbor bin be-
cause he did not have time 90 say all he
wanted 10. and M the next session he ex-
pounded his whole belief on intcrnal im-
provements in the second veto of this bill,
that fills fourteen pages of print In some
cases. by the A., these so-called vetoes of
bills that failed the previous session for
want OF the presidents signature are mere.
ly passages in the regular annual message.
Five bills were passed over Mr.. Picrcc's
veto. Buchanan sent eight veto messages,
OF which three were devoted 90 bills already
dead for want OF his signature, AT the pre-
vious session. Since Mr.. buchanan no
President has explained TO q subsequent
session Of Congress why he did not sign

bill at previous session. Mr.. Lincoln
vetoed but one bill, but Johnson vetoed
twenty-one, OF which thirteen were passed
over his objections. Grant was the author
of forty-two vetoes. IL has been seid that
he vetoed but one private pension bill, but
there are five such vetoes in this book.
Three bills, Of which two were private re-
lief bills, were passed over Grants head.
Hayes vetoed twelve bills, one OF which, the
silver dollar bill, was passed IN spite of
him. Arthur vetoed four bills, one Of
which was overlooked by the compiler OF
this book, and one OF which, the river and
harbor bill of 1882, was passed over the
Veto Cleyeland's vetoes foot up ll3, but
only eleven OF these are OF bills of a gen.
eral character. One hundred and two are
OF private pension and relief bills.
